11

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the computer network further comprising a web server, and a non-volatile memory, comprising the steps of: the web server creating or receiving an electronic list of all network devices connected to said web server, each network device having an entry in the electronic list which entry is stored by the web server in said electronic list in the non-volatile memory, and configuring use-cases comprising: for at least two use-cases, for each use-case adding an electronic use-case label to entries of at least two type first network devices and at least one type second network device in the electronic list, for each network device having the electronic use-case label, the web server storing in the non-volatile memory, for each first network device, a first list of electronic device labels, for each second network device, the web server storing a second list of electronic device labels defining at least one condition wherein for each condition at least one out of a subset of the second list of electronic device labels is present or is not present in the first list of electronic device labels, the step of activating a use-case comprising: the web server receiving a notification of a use-case selected by a user via inputs from a web page served by said web server, for each network device having the selected electronic use-case label, automatically providing the web server with at least read access to the non-volatile memory, for each pair of a first network device and a second network device, the web server reading the first and second lists of electronic device labels and the at least one condition if all conditions defined for the active use-case are fulfilled.

12

12. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising, for a selected use-case, while streaming electronic media data over the computer network, adding a network device to the network, and for the added network device: the web server adding an entry in the electronic list of network devices, and adding an electronic use-case label to said entry, if the added network device is a first network device, then the web server storing in the non-volatile memory, a first list of electronic device labels, if the added network device is a second network device, then the web server storing in the non-volatile memory, a second list of electronic device labels and defining at least one condition wherein for each condition at least one out of a subset of the second list of electronic device labels is present or is not present in the first list of electronic device labels, for the added network device having the selected electronic use-case label, automatically providing the web server with at least read access to the non-volatile memory, for each pair of the added network device and a network device of a device type other than the added network device, having the use-case label of the selected use-case, the web server reading the first and second lists of electronic device labels and the at least one condition if all conditions defined for the active use-case are fulfilled.

13

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the set of electronic device labels of the network device depends on the credentials or certificates used for connecting the network device to the web server.

14

14. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising instructing at least one first network device that is receiving at least one electronic media data stream to start rendering the at least one electronic media data stream, and/or instructing at least one second network device that is receiving at least one electronic media data stream, to not render at least one of the at least one received electronic media data stream and/or instructing at least one second network device that is receiving at least one electronic media data stream to start rendering the at least one electronic media data stream in accordance with a set of rules.

15
